Do fire extinguishers need to be mounted inside the cab?

Come on man you obviously have google.Schools out bro no more free answers

 

you can mount a fire extinguisher just about any place in a truck's cab. even in the outside compartment on the drivers side. it just has to be "bolted down" so as to not roll, discharge, or hard to find in an emergency.

one truck i drove, it was on the drivers side, on the floor, between the drivers seat, and the door. one truck i drove, it was in the center of the floor, just behind the stick shift (day cab), another truck i drove, it was on the back wall (day cab, even a sleeper), one truck, it was in that outside compartment (which goes under the sleeper bed) on the drivers side.

if you get stopped at a scale or roadside inspection and the fire extinguisher is not "bolted down" you may very well get a ticket.

 

Yes and no. Mine is bolted to the inside of the door on the sleeper. Gots to be bolted down or otherwise secured though, easy to access and if not in the cab then some states required it marked.

 

I have no issues with that, you have my permission. Carry on!

 

could also get stolen, if mounted outside. i'd prefer everything being locked up.

 

A truck “bed”?
You mean in a pickup?

 

If in a side box it has to be accessible with out a key. My box is unlocked when I leave till I get home. Never had a inspection problem.

 

No
